Once you take out the hdd of the ps4 you will have to re-download everything again. The only way around this I would imagine would be to connect both of the hdd to a computer and make a mirror image of the old hdd to your new hdd.

Well that's pretty good. What kind of internet do you have? How fast is it?

Sorry it is just odd to me. The pictures of your country we see on the news is not what you'd consider, tech savy. Do you have Walmart type shops?

Our internet is not as fast as your.. I think fastest internet in our land is 12Mbps.. Its slow but not so slow. I dowloaded need for speed 15GB for about 8 hours...
No we do not have services like walmarts before.. But now we have some services like boombeene, boomex, pala mall and Xara.. They do things like walmart but its new for us not much people using it right now... And as I said before I am from kurdistan state... Not exactly Iraq... Kurdistan is country that divoded on five country, iraq, turkey, syria and iran...

Amd u welcome for any question u have u can ask. But sorry for my bad english

Here in Quebec, we pay a lot for internet and we get almost nothing, I don't know how much you pay for your 12Mbps
When I realised what they get in France I was like WTF IS THAT!!!!!
Here we pay like 50$/month for a 30Mbps connection, and that's the average. Rich people pays 125$/month for a 200Mbps
And when I say 30Mbps/200Mbps, it's 30Mbps Maximum

In france, they provide this kind of internet :
20Euro/month, you get 100Mbps MINIMUM
24Euro/month, you get 200Mbps MINIMUM
29Euro/month, you get 500Mbps MINIMUM

ONCE, SOME FRENCH GUY SHOWN ME HIS INTERNET STATS, IT WAS AT 980Mbps
ALMOST 1Gbps
HE TOLD ME THAT HE USUALLY DOWNLOAD 1GB IN ABOUT 10 SECONDS...
I WAS LIKE WHAAAAAAAAAT!!!!
i NEED MINUTES TO DOWNLOAD 1GB AND YOU TELL ME THAT YOU CAN DOWNLOAD TB IN THE SAME TIME??!?!?!?!?!?!???!?!

U r much better than me bro.... We almost pay 45-59$ per month for 5Mbps
And on some Cities they pay almost 45$ for 12Mbps... Internet in our land is very slow but still better than previous years...
But.... Wait! What did u just said ??? Downloading 1GB in only 10 seconds ??? MAN we count ours for downloading 1GB ... Black ops 3 on ps4 was 40GB (i think) it took me to wait about 2 nights and two days untill download finished :(


But another thing... Our internet is unlimited

10$? I'm guessing you're with Videotron right? If so then i am with Videotron as well and i do wish they would just move their butt and upgrade all the connection speed to something that's really worth it.

Yea me too, in USA, some states have the Google Fiber, which is around 1-2Gbps as download speed.
But as @Ethan2 said, there are far worse connection around the world, like in Iraq, where he lives, where 12Mbps is the best you can get.

    @BigOnYa, doesnt the game have a campaign mode?
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Yea, and co-op, but you can also start a pvp session and battle just with friends. You get special skill cards (powers) the more you play. And higher value cards, but you can only enable so many cards at a time.
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    If you can find enough for it
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Toilet paper is considered the money, you collect and buy stuff with TP, kinda funny. Graphics are def better than the other games tho, I think they used Unity 5 engine.

    @Xdqwerty, Many of them did before colour television was common.
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    Likely because black and white TV was in-expensive.

  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    It certainly wasn't inexpensive it cost the same as a new car back then
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    How much did a 1965 color TV cost?

    For example, a 21-inch (diagonal) GE color television in 1965 had an advertised price of $499, which is equal to $4,724 in today's dollars, according to the federal government's inflation calculator.

    @K3Nv2, take into consideration how economy was back then

    Yeah that's why they listed inflation rates
